<\/br>On March 21, 22, and 23rd the North West Regional Library hosted a very successful “Human Library Event”.
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>
\n<\/br>This is an initiative in which people called, “Readers” who want to learn about a specific topic “check out” people called “Human Books” for a half hour of conversation in the library.<\/p>\n
